Buon Anniversario
Charles Aznavour
Happy Anniversary
In my blue dress, I'm being patient
I've never been calmer than this,
I've been ready for a while, for this anniversary
Of your white dress and the fateful yes.
But something's not right and you're so nervous
That's why I'm calmly sitting on the sofa
With your character, if I said something
You'd send me to limbo, and goodbye serenity.
It's already eight, the seamstress is not here
She was supposed to be here this morning, it seems to me
To top it off, your chignon gets tangled and won't give in
More reason to make us late.
If it continues like this, the evening at the theater
And the trendy author, I'll greet you
Goodbye more of Anouilh, of Anouilh, maybe of Sartre
I don't remember anymore, but I have the tickets...
Happy anniversary! Happy anniversary!
Your dress is here, finally you breathe
Out of solidarity, I help you as I can
Everything is ready, but no, while you sigh
Your zipper stops halfway
We get a little nervous while I push and you pull
Both trying to get out of trouble,
But by fate, despite your sighs
The fabric has torn, now what do we do?
Around eleven, finally you're ready
From the theater now people are leaving,
Let's go to dinner, come on, the play doesn't matter
But now you don't want to anymore and ask to go back
On the street, the two of us, we walk in silence,
You smile at me, I kiss you and then smile at you
The evening? No! That's not what matters
But loving each other as I love you and as you love me.
Happy anniversary! Happy anniversary!
Happy anniversary!
